My mail-artists photoalbum in the 80-ies

In 1984 I started to meet the first mail-artists. Inside the Netherlands, but also outside my own country. Bacause I was interested to know how people looked like I made an album with portraits of the mail-artists I was in contact with. Here below you find a small selection out of that album. It shows how some of these mail-artists looked like in the 80-ies. Some might hate me for reminding them of how they looked then. Others have passed away. For the new generation of mail-artists is is easier to find out how their contacts look like. But on the Internet one can be fooled easily. Is the miniature image really the person I am writing to? The personal meeting will always tell.

If you know any details of the individuals on the photos, please DO leave a comment for me & others to read. Thank you
